Richmond Locomotive Works

[2] Its only contemporary in Virginia was the Roanoke Shops, which produced locomotives exclusively for Norfolk & Western.

[2] The engines it produced were shipped across America, as well as several countries in Europe, Asia and the South Pacific.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway purchased several engines, including two specifically constructed for carrying passengers to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.

It was considered too light for mainline running, steaming poorly on New Zealand's ungraded coals but found a home on a local Canterbury Plains branchline serving it for 30 years.
